Ingredients
- 2 pounds ripe plums, halved and pitted
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- kosher salt
Instructions
- Set several small plates in the freezer. They'll be used to test the consistency of the butter later on.
- Place the plum halves in a medium saucepan along with any of the juices that may have run out onto the cutting board. Cook over medium heat until the fruit is very soft (10 - 15 minutes). Transfer to a blender, and carefully blend until pureed (I used the lowest setting on my Vitamix). Measure out 2 cups of plum puree, and reserve the rest for another use (I add to chia pudding!).
- Return the plum puree to the medium saucepan along with the sugar, honey, lemon juice and pinch of kosher salt, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to medium-low, then cook until sufficiently thickened (18 - 20 minutes).
- To test the consistency of the butter, place a small spoonful of the hot butter on a cold plate, and return to the freezer for 1 minute. If the mixture looks thin and runny, it's not done. If it's thick and holds it's shape it's done.
- Transfer Plum Butter to a clean jar, and let cool before storing in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
